Dear Nr. Fitzpatrick:
This refers to the routine safety inspection
conducted
by J.
A. Isom,
D. J
~ Hartland,
and
R. Schweibinz of this
o fice on July 28,
1993,
through
September
10,
1993, of activities at the Donald
C.
Cook Nuclear Plant,
Units
1
and 2, authorized
by
NRC Operating
Licenses
No.
and
and to the
discussion of our findings with A. A. Blind and others of your staff at the
conclusion of the inspection.
Areas
examined during the inspection
are identified in the report.
Within
these
areas,
the inspection consisted
of selective
examinations of procedures
and representative
records,
interviews with personnel,
and observation of
activities in progress.
Based
on the results of this inspection,
certain of your activities appeared
to be in violation of NRC requirements,
as specified
in the enclosed
Notice of
Violation (Notice).
The violation regarding
the lack of inspection
hold
points for ensuring
proper tightness
of fasteners
used during reassembly
of
the conoseal
is of concern
because it could lead to the conoseals
being
reassembled
improperly.
Your response
to this violation should also address
the root cause
and corrective action for the document control problem
associated
with this issue.
The violation regarding
the lack of specificity in the procedure for
installation of the thrust bearings for the auxiliary feedwater
(AFW) pump is
of particular concern.
It contributed to the incorrect installation of these
bearings
in your Unit 2 motor-driven
AFW pump
and consequent
accelerated
bearing wear.
These
same bearings
had twice previously been
found damaged,
as
discussed
in our recent
Inspection
Report
No. 50-316/93016
(DRP).
The recent
report transmitted
a Notice of Violation for failure to vigorously pursue
auxiliary feedwater deficiencies.
In addition,
our inspectors
have repeatedly
emphasized
attentiveness
to AFW.
Thus,
our discovery during this inspection
period (during
a tour by the
NRC Regional Administrator) 'that oil level
on one
Unit
2
AFW pump was below pump vendor acceptance
levels,
was cause for
additional
concern.
In responding
to the
AFW violation, please
address
your
plans to enhance
attention to the condition of this vital safety equipment.
